Skill Select is a digital platform that assists Australia to manage its skilled immigration program. It helps in ensuring that the skilled immigration program is responsive to the economic needs of the nation.

The SS program supports the Government of Australia in managing applications for skilled immigration. This is in terms of who can apply, when and in what numbers. Thus the time taken for processing visa applications is considerably decreased, as quoted by the Home Affairs Gov Au.

Australia Skill Select is also helpful in addressing skill shortages in the regional areas. It permits willing immigrants to indicate their intention to work and live in regional Australia.
